MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There was a fair amount of business and
sellers were enabled to get an advance over
the quotations of the day before on the bet
ter grades of wheat. The demand was
mainly from local millers, though a few
orders were filled from the outside. Receipts
amounted to 16S cars and shipments were
43. Duluth received 65 cars. The samples
shown on the tables contained more than the
usual amount of hard wheat, though nearly
all the new wheat contained a large amount
of dirt. Hay is weak with offerings low.

with little to complain of Of course millers
would be pleased with more active request
and higher pnces, but the market is in better
shape than during the earlier part of the
season. Buyers as well as sellers appear to
operate with more satisfaction, though all
admit the scale of profit is low There is a
